The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Témoignage dans l'histoire des institutions de la ville ; qualités architecturales, tant pour les parties médiévales de l'enceinte castrale avec le porche et la tour, de la Renaissance pour le décor de façade et de l'escalier en vis du logis, que du premier quart du 19e siècle pour la façade néoclassique de l'ancienne halle aux poissons. Indéniable intérêt historique et archéologique de cet ensemble.

History
Testimony in the history of the city's institutions; architectural qualities, both for the medieval parts of the castle enclosure with the porch and the tower, for the Renaissance decoration of the façade and the spiral staircase of the main dwelling, and for the first quarter of the 19th century for the neo-classical façade of the former fish market. Undeniable historical and archaeological interest of this ensemble.
